Desktop Icons without Text


Recommended Posts

No luck, here is what i did.

I run the Remove Recycle bin.reg. Then opened tweakui but there was no recycle bin there. I tried doing it a few other ways but still no luck..

Umm.. when i open flashfxp i can see the recycle bin there, its called some wierd name though.. :-S

That's odd,.. the "Remove Recycle Bin.reg" returns the Recycle Bin to default. :huh:

Try importing the "Remove Recycle Bin.reg" + the "Add Recycle Bin to Desktop.reg" from the attached zip file and refresh your Desktop.

Add_Recycle_Bin_to_Desktop.zip

2x You're welkome!  :D

Open Regedit and go to  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5002-0000-0000-000000000002}\Shell\MyDownl\Command] and edit the command.  :)

Of course, you can!.. :p

PM me the shortcuts to the programs, helpfiles and Command line parameters (I need the Commandline parameters for the extra functions in the Context menu, if you don't know them I'll search for them). :)

Im lost still with the Azureus cause it uses Java when it starts so im all messed up with the shortcuts. I will hopefully find the right shortcuts over at there website. Below is all I know(& it aint much!!)

Azureus:

C:\ProgramFiles\Azureus\Azureus.exe

Nope..

Its wierd though, there is no icon on the desktop but if i go to Run>Desktop there is a recycle bin icon there, with no text..

I guess im just stuck without it on the desktop, no biggy.

585362075[/snapback]

Biggy to me! :D

I think that I found the solution; import the "Show Recycle Bin.reg" from the attached zip, refresh your Desktop and it should be back. :)

Show_Recycle_Bin.zip

No problem,.. I was just editing it... :D

This version uses NirCmd (a great little Command Line Tool) to adjust the volume.

Copy NirCmd*.* to your Windows or System32 directory, then import "Remove Master Volume.reg" and then "Add Master Volume CSM.reg" + refresh your Desktop.

Master_Volume_CSM.zip

This is very interesting. I just wonder weather this (the custom menus) is compatible with IconX or not.

I think you should make editor so ppl can easily make their own :)

585387594[/snapback]

The custom menus are compatible but IconX does'nt support the nameless Icons. :(

post-77438-1107482742_thumb.jpgSomethings gone wrong with the "My Documents" reg files....

Even when I run the remove file(reg file) the missing **** dont come back :cry:

See attached screenshots

The My Documents icon in the Startmenu has nothing to do with the one on your Desktop. (nor the reg file) :)

Import the reg file in the attached zip & reboot your Computer.

If that does'nt work try to change it with X-Setup:

Appearance -> Start Menu -> Windows XP -> New Start Menu -> Visible Items -> Check "Right Column: My Documents".

Start_ShowMyDocs.zip

This Icon can Open and Close your CD /DVD Drives + Turn Autorun On or Off (reboot required).

post-20663-1108477690.jpg

Installation: Import "Add CD - DVD Drives.reg" and Refresh your Desktop.

Copy NirCmd.* to your Windows or System32 directory.

UnInstall: Import "Remove CD - DVD Drives.reg" and Refresh your Desktop.

Remove NirCmd.* from your Windows or System32 directory.

Edit the reg file to change the drive paths and letters:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5200-0000-0000-000000000002}\Shell\03]

@="? Eject (G:)"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5200-0000-0000-000000000002}\Shell\03\Command]

@="NirCmd.exe cdrom open G:"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5200-0000-0000-000000000002}\Shell\04]

@="- Close (G:)"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5200-0000-0000-000000000002}\Shell\04\Command]

@="NirCmd.exe cdrom close G:"

Change G: to your CD / DVD drive path

If you have one CD /DVD drive delete command nr. 05 and 06:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5200-0000-0000-000000000002}\Shell\05]

@="? Eject (H:)"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5200-0000-0000-000000000002}\Shell\05\Command]

@="NirCmd.exe cdrom open H:"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5200-0000-0000-000000000002}\Shell\06]

@="- Close (H:)"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000000-5200-0000-0000-000000000002}\Shell\06\Command]

@="NirCmd.exe cdrom close H:

Thank You ! This is excellent work. The nicest addition to my system since firefox :)

very nice guide but isnt there somethin where u right click to rename your desktop icons and hold alt then on keypad press 0160 then letting go will have no text at all just your desktop icons

585475433[/snapback]

Try both, and you'll see that his method is far superior. I never bothered with alt+0160

cause it doesn't look nice, and u miss functionality on icons like 'My Computers'.

585475433[/snapback]

Really don't know why people keep sayin' this...

:no:

If you use ALT+0160 you still have the blank space under the icons.... Heby gound a way to remove ALSO this blank space.

    • I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
    • Getting further away from the artistic study of mental disease that was the first game... (which never needed any sequels to begin with) But I get it, a company has to make money. And the second was at least visually impressive, if not in any other way.
    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
